[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 115729, member: 1563"] Guys: The testing i did on the Carbon ABS bbl on the 338 Snipe-Tac was like this. During the bbl break in, i used the Mike Rock method, i kept checking the bbl temp and could feel the temp of the carbon rising fast, after 5 shots it was rather warm on the outside. The steel shank was almost cool to the touch. The carbon fiber was pulling the heat away from the steel bbl. I didn't have a thermometer to do any actual tests. The bbl dia on this rifle was 1.400 at the breech, 1" at the muzzel 33" long. I did a very scientific test between the two rifles, after 5 shots i would let the cleaning rod sit in the bbl for a min, the carbon bbl the cleaning rod was just warm. The non-carbon bbl the cleaning rod came out hot. My personal 338 snipe-tac has a std stainless bbl, same length. after 5 shots the bbl is so hot you cant touch it. It takes quite a while for it to cool down. The carbon bbls really do the job! At least ABS bbls do.` I read articles on other carbon bbl makers, ones the problems occured with, they seem to insulate the bbl liners. Mike is a great guy to deal with!!! Go Huskers! [/QUOTE]
